Abstract:
Civilization depends upon the strength of ideal values and sentiments in marriage for maintaining marital relations which play an important role in offering an easy and effective guidance in their marital behavior. The personality traits of two individuals, their backgrounds, the attitude affect the future of any marriage. Working women’s problem depends on the type of employment and domestic commitment. Tension is felt because she feels torn between loyalty towards job and towards husband and child. Role conflict arises when there is a clash between equally important roles. Due to shortage of time and energy on the one hand and a large number of demands of family members working women enable to meet her demands and needs and make her life unhappy. The present study was planned to investigate the marital conflict of working women from different organized sectors. A sample of three hundred working women was selected purposively. The marital conflict of working women was quantified as per the scoring of scale developed by Krebs and Laird, 1998. It was observed that the highest range of marital conflict was found in case of nurse followed by officer, college teacher, clerk, doctor and school teacher. There was no significant difference among them as far as marital conflict was concern.
